Saturday morning pictures at the Odeon

School days were OK but on Saturday morning the walk/run from Croxley Green down into Ricky was always an adventure. We would go down Scots Hill or down the track opposite the church at the bottom of the Green and come out by the cinema we called the flea pit. Then a short walk into the town.  Normally what seemed like hundreds of children would be gathered at the rear of the Odeon  waiting to get in. Films of Roy Rodgers, Jean Autry, Charlie Chaplain and many others would entertain us. If any youngster had a birthday that day, his or her name was called out and 'Happy Birthday' was sung buy everybody, all very happy.
